Dandy Style Icon: Fred Astaire

noreply@blogger.com (FineAndDandyShop.com) — Thu, 10 May 2012 18:08:00 +0000

In honor of Fred Astaire's birthday I'm re-running a post from last year about one of my greatest sartorial influences:

In interviews I'm frequently asked if I have any style icons and I always answer that Fred Astaire tops the list. As a child I was engrossed by Fred Astaire movies and the many hours I spent watching them were probably partially responsible for shaping my personal style as an adult. Sure, Astaire was a snappy dresser. Usually a flower on his lapel, often in a suit if not a tux, impeccably put together even when dressed casually. But it wasn't just about the clothes. He had a sophistication about him that made him that much more stylish. Here are a few favorite photos illustrating his iconic status. Who are your style icons?

Dandies Online: NPR

noreply@blogger.com (FineAndDandyShop.com) — Sun, 06 May 2012 14:49:00 +0000

This article from NPR about the decline of men's hats is really interesting. I had always heard the theory attributing it to JFK's personal style. The author suggests Dwight Eisenhower's building of the American highway system is to blame: it's tough to wear a top hat in a car (vs. a train, bus, etc.). Do you think his theory is valid?

Happy Kentucky Derby!

Dandy Style Icon: Bing Crosby

noreply@blogger.com (FineAndDandyShop.com) — Thu, 03 May 2012 22:10:00 +0000

Today marks Bing Crosby's 109th birthday. I pretty much grew up watching Holiday Inn and other old films. Do you think that the style of Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, etc. rubbed off on me? Here are some favorite Bing images.

Last May I posted Darren Criss' spring/summer photos from GQ and I just came across this behind the scenes video. Yes, a year late, but just in time for summer.
